Instructions
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced white onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so it doesn't brown.

Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder and cook for 30 seconds until the spices are fragrant and coat the onion. Add the rinsed lentils and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the lentils are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid, 20–25 minutes.
